Mycotic Aneurysm in an Immunocompromised Patient with Pneumonia and Spondylodis...

BACKGROUND: Mycotic aneurysm is a rare entity with rapid progression, which can be fatal without adequate treatment. The incidence of rupture is greater than that of degenerative aneurysms and is associated with a high mortality rate. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 58-year-old man with a known history of HIV infection with good immunovirological staging, treated squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal a...

A Giant Arteriovenous Malformation of the Abdominal Wall

INTRODUCTION: Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are high-fow anomalous connections between the arterial and venous systems composed of dysplastic vessels resulting from aberrant angiogenesis. They are congenital and when symptomatic they rarely manifest before adolescence. Depending on the location, size, stage and severity of the symptoms, treatment options vary from conservative management to surgical resect...

Intravascular Lithotripsy For Severe Peripheral Artery Calcification – A 3-Year...

Introduction: Severe arterial calcification is a challenging limitation in endovascular procedures leading to worse success rates and outcomes. Conventional balloon angioplasty may provide limited luminal gain, calling for adjunctive strategies of plaque modification, such as intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The aim of this study is to describe our institutional experience with IVL in the treatment of periphera...

Vascular Surgery Procedures Performed By Residents. A Narrative Review On The I...

Introduction: Worldwide, there is an increase in scrutiny after surgical treatment of a vast array of pathologies. Doing so, a large body of evidence clearly supports centralisation, such as teaching hospitals, where a larger caseload enables optimal outcomes. These institutions have a strong presence of surgical residents seeking training in both technical and non-technical skills. Inevitably, as part of train...

Uma disseção muito complicada: um caso clínico

INTRODUÇÃO: A disseção aórtica aguda tipo B (DAAB) é uma síndrome aórtica aguda que apresenta elevada taxa de mortalidade. Atualmente, na fase aguda, preconiza-se o tratamento médico nos casos de DAAB não complicada, ficando a cirurgia reservada para os casos de DAAB complicada (rutura, síndrome de malperfusão, dor/hipertensão ref ratária, expansão rápida ou progressão proximal/distal). A cirur...

Tratamento de pseudoaneurismas femorais com tumescência: uma revisão sistemátic...

INTRODUÇÃO: Com o crescente uso das técnicas endovasculares, seja para fins diagnósticos ou terapêuticos, o pseudoaneurisma iatrogénico da artéria femoral é uma complicação cada vez mais frequente. A par deste aumento de incidência foram surgindo alternativas à cirurgia convencional para o seu tratamento, nomeadamente soluções percutâneas e endovasculares. Em 2003 foi descrito pela primeira vez u...

RISK OF DEATH AFTER PACLITAXEL EXPOSURE DURING FEMOROPOPLITEAL ARTERY ANGIOPLAS...

Paclitaxel molecule has been on the market since 1991 and is indicated for the treatment of multiple neoplasms. Since 2012 has been used in endovascular devices for the treatment of peripheral artery disease and have become a mainstay in the treatment of symptomatic femoro-popliteal lesions, in particular for preventing arterial restenosis. They have a proven benefit in patency and freedom-from re-intervention ...
